VinceDeLange

Passed away peacefully Wednesday October 3, 2012 at Rose Arbor Hospice with his family by his side. Vince was born December 16, 1955 in Grand Rapids, the son of William and Edna (Gould) DeLange. Vince was an avid comic book collector, always on the hunt for that "prized" comic book. He loved camping and fishing with his sons, spending time with his family, gardening and working in the yard. Vince spent his career working in financial services and enjoyed debating politics. He was a hard worker, dedicated to whatever task was ahead. On May 16, 1994, he married April (Botimer) DeLange, who survives. He also leaves to cherish his memory, two sons, Derek and Lucas DeLange; his mother; a brother, Mitchell (Wendy) DeLange; a sister, Sandra (Henry) VanderVliet; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and great friends. He was preceded in death by his father. A memorial celebration will be held on Sunday October 14, 2012, beginning at 2:00 PM at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 1601 Nichols Rd., Kalamazoo, MI 49006, with Pastor Daniel Ferraz officiating. Memorials may be made to the Rose Arbor Hospice Residence, or the West Michigan Cancer Center, c/o the funeral home. Recently, Vince took a family trip out West to enjoy the sights of 13 states where he enjoyed zip lining through the Colorado Mountains. He will be missed by family and friends as he awaits the return of Jesus. Friends may share a condolence online at www.joldersma-klein.com
